Vacation

I have been slacking on the blog posts, and if you anxiously await them, I apologize. However, something tells me that my missing posts aren't ruining anyone's days! I have been pretty busy these past few weeks. I have been in a wiffleball league and that consumes a large portion of my Sunday afternoons. I also just took 2 weeks off of work for vacation. I had planned to brew during that time, but it just didn't happen. Part of it is my fear of the extra long double brewday that will be my RIS and a subsequent small beer. The other part - I am just plain old lazy. If those weren't good enough reasons, well, its pretty darn hot and I don't like (or trust) my ferm chamber trying to beat a 30 degree differential in my garage!

Just cause I haven't been brewing, doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about it, or beer in general. When visiting my in-laws in Delaware I went on a day-trip to Rehoboth Beach and had to get some "take-out" at Dogfish Head. I got a growler of the Festina Peche - A quazi Berliner-weisse made with peaches. I also got a bottle of 120 Minute IPA - An imperial IPA that is a true work of good brewmanship (its hard to get yeast to keep chuggin in such a toxic environment).

So the RIS is still pending brewing... I almost forgot, but there was an accident in the brewery... I will save that for next time!
